I've seen so few films this year (comparatively) that mine is probably Captain America :lol: :oops:

That just can't be right, so what's yours?

I've only seen two films in 2011 that were actually released in 2011 and were both on DVD only. No cinema visits at all.

And Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 was a lot better than Battle:Los Angeles.

I have a Top 5 for 2011:

The King's Speech
127 Hours
Senna
Moneyball
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

All excellent, I thought Tinker Tailor was a flawed one after I left the cinema, but the good bits have stuck with me, and when it's good it's very, very good. Though that sounds like something the voice of the M&S food adverts would say.

I haven't seen any good films this year.

In fact, it saw the first time that I've actually walked out of a film (the Sandra Bullock schlmassal), shortly followed by 3 others (including the William Ferrel one about cops?). I can't say, that I've seen a really good film this year.

I think I watched only Captain America, Green Hornet and Transformers this year. I wanted to watch Conan and Green Lantern, and haven't yet watched Sherlock Holmes.

I thoroughly enjoyed Limitless. Source Code and The Adjustment Bureau were also entertaining.

Colombiana was good as far as action films go, it was good to have a female lead in one for a change. Likewise, Hanna was very good.

Blockbusters - I think X-men First Class was probably my favourite of the the year.

Paul would probably be my Comedy pick but then I really like Nick Frost and Simon Pegg.

I still have a film to watch later on today that I have high hopes for, after that, I'll be posting my yearly films watched list as I normally do. (8+)

I've only been to the cinema once in the last 9.5mths and that was for El Gato Con Botas 3D. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but that was partially due to the attractive company, cool 3D and the fact that I surprised myself at how much Spanish I understood.

Can't actually remember anything from before March apart from 127 Hours - which was awesome.

I haven't been to see a film at the cinema since 2004...

Mind you, I catch a fair number on the old gogglebox.
